MY FORD F150 TRUCK HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WITH A HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER, WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING. A FEW YEARS AFTER I GOT THE TRUCK, THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYCLINDER, INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING, STARTED LEAKING FLUID, JUST AFTER THE MANUFACTURERS 3-YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT. SOMETIMES THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH CYLINDER LOSES ALL THE FLUID OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (SEVERAL MONTHS), AND SOMETIMES IT LOSES ALL OF THE FLUID IN A FEW DAYS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, AND I PUSHED IN THE CLUTCH TO DISENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN IN FRONT OF ME, AND THE CLUTCH DID NOT WORK. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT AN ACCIDENT DID NOT RESULT.

CONSUMER RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL EXTENDED COVERAGE PROGRAM (01MO5) IN JULY 2001, THE PROGRAM IS EXTENDS TO 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES FROM THE VEHICLES WARRANTY START DATE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE REACHED 155,000 BEFORE THE LETTER WAS RECEIVED, CONSUMER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE PROGRAM AND FEELS THAT THE DEFECT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE.*JB

I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK FOR THE FIRST 5 YEARS. BUT AFTER THAT EVEN WITH TAKING GREAT CARE OF THE TRUCK IT STARTED TO FAIL THE ALTENATOR....$400,REPLACING 2 EXHAUST TUBES FOR EMISSIONS $450,REAR SPRING SHACKELS AND MOUNT $450, THE TRANS MISSION IS NOW FAILING COST NOT KNOWN YET, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT DOORS DON'T LINE UP ANYMORE WATER LEAKS IN,LOWER SHEETMETAL OF TRUCK BED RUSTING THROUGH PAINT EVEN WITH BEING WAXED MANY MANY TIMES,VENT WINDOWS LEAK AND ARE RUSTING, I KNOW VEHICELS NEED ALOT OF CARE BUT I THINK THE WORST PROBLEM WAS THE RUSTING OUT OF THE REAR SPRING MOUNTS AND SHACKELS THIS IS A REAL DANGER ,I HAVE NEVER HEARED OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANY VEHICLE. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER 93 F 150'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN GET THE WORD OUT TO OTHERS WITH 1993 F 150'S SO THEY CAN HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT FOR THEIR SAFETY.*AK

IGNITION SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE, KEY IS DIFFICULT TO TAKE OUT OF IGNITION. WHEN KEY IS FINALLY TAKEN OUT, IT IS DIFFICULT TO PUT IT BACK IN. CONTACTED DEALER,AND DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

PASSENGER SIDE FACTORY EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING, SHOWING FRACTURE BETWEEN CYLINDERS TWO AND THREE. EXHAUST SOUNDS INCREASED BOTH DURING IDLE AND AT SPEED. NOISE CAN BE DESCRIBED AS CRACKLING/POPPING AT IDLE AND A VERY LOUD HIGH-SPEED TURBULENCE (AS IF FROM A LARGE ENGAGED CLUTCH FAN) WHEN ACCELERATING. CRACKED MANIFOLD HAS TRIGGERED "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON LONG TRIPS (AFTER 3+ HOURS HIGHWAY DRIVING). HAVE NO REASON TO SUSPECT THE CRACKED MANIFOLD IS A REPLACEMENT. APPEARS TO HAVE CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE (I.E. DRIVING THROUGH DEEP WATER, OVER ROUGH TERRAIN). INCREASED EXHAUST NOISE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE WAS ONLY HEARD AT WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE, AND PROGRESSED TO A FULL-TIME LEAK WITHIN 30 DAYS. OTHER STORIES SIMILAR TO THIS ONE ABOUND, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF DESIGN.*AK

THE DELAY AND MAIN WIPER SYSTEM SOMETIMES WILL STOP, I CAN JIGGLE THE CONTROL KNOW ON THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER, OR USE A DIFFERENT SETTING AND IT WILL WORK AGAIN. IF WHILE USING THE WIPERS, I HAVE TO USE THE TURN SIGNALS, THEN IT MAY STOP THE WIPERS AND I HAVE TO RESET THE CONTROL KNOB.*AK

PRIOR TO RECALL, THE FUEL REGULATOR FAILED AND CONSUMER PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED, HOWEVER CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT BUT NO LONGER HAS THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT.*YD

THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT 36K MILES. THEY CAUSED AN EXTREMELY BAD VIBRATION PROBLEM AT ALL SPEEDS. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED IT AS THE START OF A TREAD SEPARATION PROBLEM. I REPLACED ALL 4 ORIGINAL TIRES IN JUNE OF 2000, WITH NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SAME TYPE AND BRAND. (ONLY ONE OTHER MANUFACTURER MADE A TIRE IN THIS SIZE AND TYPE, AT THAT TIME). THE VEHICLE IS USED VERY SPARINGLY FOR SHORT WEEKEND TRIPS. WITH 2000 MILES ON THE REPLACEMENT TIRES, THE VIBRATION PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN, NOT YET AS BAD AS BEFORE, BUT WITH FIRESTONE'S PRESENT TRACK RECORD I AM VERY CONCERNED. I WORRY ABOUT THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES THAT OTHER FIRESTONE TIRES HAVE EXPERIENCED. I AM CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF THIS SIZE AND TYPE OF TIRE, WE WILL HAVE FALLEN INTO A CRACK IN THE GOVERNMENT'S INVESTIGATION! *AK (TIRESIZE: P27560HR17)

FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN SEPT, 1999 WHILE DRIVING WEST ON I-40 NEAR LEBANON, TN. SPEED WAS APPROX 70MPH, LOAD OF ABOUT 200 LBS IN TRUCK BED, 1 DRIVER, 1 PASSENGER. A BRIEF "VIBRATION" WAS FELT, FOLLOWED BY A LOUD, BRIEF BANGING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. I SAW IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR A PIECE OF RUBBER LANDING IN THE ROAD AND CARS SWERVING BEHIND ME TO MISS IT. I DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK, BUT DID IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER. I OBSERVED THE LEFT REAR TIRE AND THE TREAD WAS MISSING, EXPOSING THE STEEL BELTS AND OTHER FIBERS. IT WAS STILL INFLATED. THERE WAS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK'S QUARTER PANEL AND TRIM AROUND THE TIRE OPENING. I CHANGE TO THE SPARE AND CONTINUED ON. I HAD THE TIRE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER FR480 AT A LOCAL NASHVILLE, TN DEALER AND THE BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN OCTOBER, 2000. DRIVING WEST ON I-10 NEAR TUCSON, AZ, AT A SPEED OF APPROX 65MPH, WE FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WE SLOWED TO ABOUT 55-60MPH AND THE VIBRATION SEEMED TO GO AWAY, COMING BACK WITH MORE SPEED. WE DROVE THE REMAINING 125 MILES OF OUR TRIP AT A SLOWER SPEED AND SAFELY RETURNED HOME. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (LOU GRUBB IN SCOTTSDALE, AZ) I COULD FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL "SHIMMY" IN MY HAND, IN RESPONSE TO THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND FOUND THE LEFT FRONT TO BE "SEPARATING" AND SUGGESTED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD ALL 4 FR480 TIRES ON THE ROAD REPLACED W

THE VEHICLE FUEL PUMP AND HARNESS WERE REPLACED PRIOR TO RECALL 00V-424, AT THE TIME OF REPAIR THE TECHNICIAN TOLD THE CUSTOMER THAT THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP WAS CAUSING FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO FLOW INTO THE SECOND TANK RESULTING IN FUEL OVERFLOWING OUT THE FILLER TUBE, THE CONSUMER REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT BUT WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE REGULATOR NO OTHER PARTS.

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. CONSUMER G0T A USED FUEL TANK TO REPLACE THE OTHER ON. CURRENTLY, USED ONE IS ALSO LEAKING. HAS CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

VEHICLE STARTED LEAKING OIL THROUGH OUT OIL GASKET, AND IT LEAKED ON EXHAUST PIPE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

SMELLED RAW GAS FROM THE TRUCK THIS PAST WEEKEND. JUST PURCHASED THE TUCK LAST MONTH. I FOUND THAT THE SEAM ON THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING GAS. I TRANSFED THE FUEL FROM THE FRONT TANK TO THE REAR,WHICH IS ALSO HEAVY RUSTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THE COST FOR A NEW TANK IS $175.00 FOR THE FRONT AND A LITTLE LESS FOR THE REAR PLUS LABOR AND ANYOTHER PARTS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO FIRE AS THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL, WITHIN FIVE GALLONS OF FULL!!!! I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALER DOES NOR WANT TO COVER THIS COST OR EVEN PARTAKE IN IT AS SO MANY REPORTS OF LEAKING TANKS HAVE SURFACED, IN FACT THEY HAD ANOTHER CALL THE SAME MORNING FOR ANOTHER LEAKING TANK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD TO REPAIR THE TANK PROBLEMS BEFORE ANYONE IS KILLED.*AK
